Community Tasting Notes 5

  November 17, 2023 - wow, effusive strawberries, leafy raspberry, dark florals, wet earth, mushroom bouillon, hawthorn flakes. Still youthful and vibrant at 20 years (half-bottle at that!). Soft savoury earth and leather, more cherries and berries on palate. Acidity took a while to show, but oh so brilliant and light and lithe... Long lean loamy finish, with forest floor, ashy bitter streak, elegantly blooming into a heady glow. Magic in a glass.

  March 14, 2020 - Dark garnet, with some bricking on the rim. Cloudy with time in glass. ashy dark berries, perfumy dark florals, bit VA. Soft, seductive, clean, dusty purple. Feminine. Chewy, fine acidity, streak ferrous, savoury duck, herbaceous, heady. Weight but finesse. finish is rather savoury, with a streak of rust and black earth. Herbs arising. I'd say, drinking quite fine right now. With time, cola nut and hint sarsaparilla.

  February 15, 2017 - Frank & Sue's for Dinner (PHX): Drinking well on the pop n pour. Came off as a bit thin initially but filled out with some air time. Earthy nose, and plenty of raw leather. Ripe tart cherry and probably some stem notes, a touch bitter at the finish. Medium/- weight and mouthfeel. Paired nicely with pasta and swordfish.

  August 13, 2008 - It would be really fun to tiptoe through the minefields of Burgandy if it didn't cost you $$ every time you stepped on a stinker like I did with the previous bottle from Louis Latour. Fortunately, Nicolas Potel pulled through with this very nice Chambolle-Musigny. Nose is a little funky with a bit of a barnyard seasoning mixed with some tart cherry. Flavors are nicely complex with a mix of wet soil (at least what I think wet soil would taste like) and some ripe fruits with a slightly green edge that may come from whole cluster fermentation? Can't say for sure on that one but it does seem that way. Overall a decent Burgundy for a pretty fair price.
